Hey Jeremy
Like @wendyjane - I think it is a good idea. It is certainly legal to set up a site. You're biggest issue will be looking credible and offering materials that are really good value for money. I too think you would be better off making the site in English otherwise - which language would you be choosing?
Hey Jeremy,
I think your idea sounds great and seems like something you could potentially monetize, but I have no idea if there would be content issues with using the exams/past books as that's definitely not my area of expertise.:/ Also just curious, why do you want to make it non-English? To me it seems like you would be able to get way more traffic if you made it an English site or you could create it in both english/non-english. I know some people do it that way.
Hopefully someone else has a better answer for you. You could also try asking in live chat, or PM Kyle or Carson to get a more informed response.

A niche in GCSE/A-level preparation?

Thank you very much indeed for your replies, Wendyjane and BIS. I think the website is going to be more useful and attractive to internet users whose access to the GCSE textbooks/exam practice books is more limited. Specifically, I want to target Chinese secondary school students who are looking to study International Foundation Courses (before studying university degree courses). These students generally don't have a lot of relevant resources available in their own country. However, I now realise that they might have problem buying from Amazon or other bookshops overseas due to the censorship policies in China. So there are too many barriers (legal and political), maybe, the idea is not workable.
